"Recognizing" the Kanji: Even easier than "Remembering the Kanji"?

#1
I've been thinking that Remembering the Kanji, specifically, remembering how to write the Kanji might be more than is necessary for a lot of people. Personally, I don't think that I will ever need to write (draw) the Kanji. Instead, all I need to do is simply select the kanji from the list while typing. So if I simply learn to recognize the kanji, then I will have both reading and "writing" covered.

I know that Heisig warned against going from kanji->keyword, but considering that many people will never need to write kanji via pen and paper, I think that merely learning to recognize the kanji is more efficient.

Thoughts?
